Devin Haney said today that a rematch between him and Ryan Garcia is the “biggest fight” in boxing. He wants it to happen in 2025, provided it continues “A level playing field.”
Haney-Garcia is a big fight, but certainly not the “biggest” in the sport because their previous fight was a mismatch. Ryan earned the stuffing from Haney, putting him on the canvas three times. Devin looked human pottywith the number of times he hit the deck in that match, which was six times, not three.
The referee gave Haney a break by ruling three more knockdowns as slips when he continued to collapse to the canvas after being badly hurt by Garcia in the seventh.
Former two-division world champion Haney is in London today to meet with Turki Al-Shiekh to see if he can offer him a better deal than the one he received from BLK Prime to compete on their network in March. If Turki’s offer isn’t better than BLK Prime, it’s unclear whether Haney will continue shopping himself.
A level playing field
Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) still blames his loss to Ryan last April on being dirty with Ostarine in his system. The fans don’t believe this, but Haney mentions it instead of taking the loss. That would be better on Devin’s part.
However, it would be a bitter pill for him to swallow to openly acknowledge that Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) was too strong and talented to stay on the feet in their April 20 fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York . York.
“The biggest battle,” Devin Haney said Boxing newstalking about the rematch between him and Ryan Garcia being the “biggest” fight in the sport. “He must be clean. That’s the only way a rematch can happen, but that’s a fight I’d like to do in 2025. Maybe we can do it, but I just want to be on a level playing field.
“I am here to meet with His Excellency Turki Al-Shiekh to try to reach an agreement. If not, I have a deal with BLK Prime who are willing to give me what I want. We can go that way. I’m here for a reason and we can make it happen,” Haney said.
